And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Creepy robotic cookware tells you how to cook with itself.

Normally I'm all in favor of robots in the home, but I don't like these.

I love melon. But I hate melon at most restaurants, because it's been cut too soon and isn't sweet enough by far. I avoid fruit salad in restaurants like the plague.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Satanic lemon for sale!

Looks a bit like a buddah's hand citron: [link]

which is kinda cool and primal because the citron is one of the oldest citrus fruits

Q: Is there any kind of guarantee that the lemon will get along with, or at least not eat, my cat?

A: This lemon is too busy ushering in the Apocalypse, so your cat will be safe. Until, you know, the Apocalypse.

The only food I can think of offhand that I dislike is (are?) beets. And my wife has conclusively proven to me that the nasty flavor can be sufficiently disguised in a chocolate cake, allowing the cook to take great advantage of their inherent moistness.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I thought I was the only person in the world who disliked the prevalence of melon in fruit salad! But I am not. Yay.

Ugh, I hate melon.

I like melon too!

You know what is really gross, though? Discovering the chunk of melon you just bit into is starting to turn. It's like the melon is carbonated. And it burns.

What is even happening?

How many melon haters here are tomato haters?

(If you like melon, and just don't like unripened melon, or melon in something else, you're not a melon hater).
